Ah … Integratronix has been honored!

I’m glad that this bit of UFOlogical history has been recognized by someone other than the KOOKS.

Which reminds me … Greg, since you lost your hard drive and pics, you can always get more from that super secret Kook stash.

I’ll email you that link again.

i’ll leave that to someone more knowledgable on the subject, such as yourself. i just find these objects built at the behest of spirits or aliens to be fascinating.

this is a remarkable artifact rich in symbolism. it can be seen as an embodiment of the convergent strains of mysticism and ufology. Van Tassle’s placement of the structure at the nexus of a series of ley lines and his use of meditaion at a sacred Native American site to achieve communication with Venusians. the importance of the Venusians, often dismissed as an imitation of Adamski, yet redolent with occult significance. Venus, the planet of the Goddess of Passion, epitome of femininity; the Integratron’s domed, femine arcitecture, evoking allusions to both the breast and the womb. it stands as a remarkable counter point to the coldly technical phallic ICBMs that dominated the U.S. psyche at that time, which promised not regeneration but nuclear annihilation. in a sense the Integratron embodies an implicit rejection of Cold War militarism. a mute protest beneath the stars.
